You'll need to use a script that I had to use in the bad old days of
sendmail - the access database for sendmail also only took single IP's,
but it was too much work to maintain a list like that. Grab this
script:

and do a 2 pass run over your file - first convert it with the abve
script and then build the db.
HTH,
